A Night With The Guy Next Door

I had two choices: Stay where I'm at and plunge first into a scandalous disaster that would forever leave a stain on my record or leave and start fresh at an entirely new school. I wanted none of those two choices but I had nothing to do since l brought the disaster to myself.

***

"Rianna, do we have a deal?", I stared up into dean's cold eyes as he glanced over his desk at me. His jaw was wound tight and if he was a bomb, he would have exploded in less than five minutes. He had been talking for a good time but l was lost in my own thoughts.

"I still don't understand why I have to make this decision and yet professor douchebag is going to keep his job and stay here, it sounds like you trying to protect him. Are you trying to sweep this under the rug, Dean Godfrey?", I cocked up an eyebrow letting him know that l wasn't the type of girls he could pull the wool over their eyes and get away with it.

He could try to hide the fact that professor douchebag was a complete womanizing jerk- tricking his female students into having sex with him - but l knew the truth. Clearing his throat, he watched me intently as he adjusted his tie. "I'm not sweeping anything under the rug", He adjusted in his lavish leather chair before shuffling some papers in front of him.

"If any of this gets out Ms. Martinez, you and l both know it won't be just the professor in trouble. You will face jail time as well", He spoke with his eyes on me. I groaned inwardly at his words. He was right. If l hadn't tried to burn his house down and then basically assault him, l wouldn't be here faced with a life changing decision.

"Fine, where do my credits transfer to?", I knew there were only a few universities in the states that would allow me to transfer so many credits and two or three were close by. This only meant that l would get transferred to the farthest school possible. "It's a fine university, Rianna. You will find that it is just a short drive out of Boston, we believe you will love Massachusetts this time of year", He began shuffling more papers on his table until he found what he was looking for then he handed me a small stack of papers with my name printed on top.

"Massachusetts? Doesn't it get cold there?", I asked. I hated winter and the thought of getting stuck in the tundra while this jerk gets to stay in sunny Arizona made my blood boil. Dean Godfrey sighed while shaking his head. "I know it's not your first choice, Ms. Martinez but this is what I have got. Take it or leave it but know if you leave it, you will go to jail - that is the judge's terms",

When I heard his words, my fists balled up on my lap and l crinkled the papers in my hand as l glared at the dean in front of me. He was probably laughing at me inside his heart. He knew it that l had no say in all of this. I was totally screwed up. "I guess , I'm off to Massachusetts then", Standing up from my seat, l turned and headed towards the door but, I didn't open the door quickly. l just stopped in mid motion. I had one more message for the dean.

"Can you give professor Michael a message for me?", At my question, the dean looked up with curiosity written all over his face. Caring less about it, l reached into my back pocket and extended my middle finger toward him. "Nice", He replied dryly while shaking his head at me. Yes I meant. That bastard should fuck himself.

A small chuckle vibrated through my chest as l left his office. I made sure that I slammed the door hardly behind me. As l made my way across the campus, l looked down at the papers in my hands noting that they were copies of my transfer. The date on the top told me that I will be starting at the new college in a week's time. Too bad that useless professor was MIA at the moment, l would have given him a proper farewell - a punch to his perfect nose.

As l was walking, l stopped for a moment then looked at the papers. Standing still , l flipped through the papers until I found what I was looking for. It was my housing situation, it looked like the dean had me sharing a house near the campus with four other girls. I didn't know anymore but I still couldn't wait to meet them.

Sighing out, l shoved the papers beneath my arm and headed back to my current house to start packing. The faster l packed up, the faster l could get out of here and I needed that. If l stay here any longer, l will end up hunting the useless professor then make him suffer as much as I was.

Good enough my roommates were all away, l quickly packed up my stuff then put them in my car. I spun around and looked at the apartment l had lived in for the last two years and l noticed how l didn't feel an ounce of sadness. I could see that there was nothing here for me anymore.

Closing up the door behind me , l descended the familiar stone steps and climbed into my spots car. As l drove away from the house, l had grown to know, l didn't look back once. I had to start over and l had to do it right now.

Starting over meant - no professors , no more forbidden desires.

My new roommates are crazy. That's the only term l could give them at a moment. I literally just arrived at my new house twenty minutes ago and walked into a full-on keggar. The house was bursting at the seams with bodies and the music was so loud, it felt like my ears were bleeding.

Different colored fluorescent lights illuminated the living room where a beer pong table was set up and two teams we're currently battling for a win. As l stared around, my luggage at my feet, l noticed that not a single soul had noticed me standing up here. It was no surprise that l was new but no body seemed to care.

I didn't even know what my roommates looked like so there was no way for me to pick them out in this full crowd of people. I guess I could wander upstairs and see if there was a vacant room with my name on the door but something told me that wouldn't be the case either. I enjoyed the good party like the rest of them but come on! This was the type of party you only saw on TV.

And this was a new place, what the hell did I get myself into?! Better yet what the hell did Dean Godfrey get me into. I bet he knew it. That son of bitch.

As l was standing puzzled, soon a drunk guy stumbling around walked via me but I quickly grabbed his hand. "Hey, I'm looking for the girls who live here, Do you know anywhere l can find them?", I shouted trying to be heard over the music. His brow scrunched up together as if he was trying to process my words but his mind was completely fried.

I snapped my fingers in front of his face to get his attention but he hiccuped and I knew it that he was about to get sick. Stepping away from him, l watched him throw up over a dude in front of him. The vomit went all over the guy's back and I had to look away so that I don't involve in a puke-fest. That was so gross....

The puke victim cursed out and spun around, finding the drunk guy who had soiled him. "Dude what the fuck!", He brought his hand back and decked the kid right in the face. l silently watched as the kid fall on the floor. Yes he was near me but I wasn't ready to help him. The party goers quickly walked right over to him and helped him.

The guy who had puke on his shirt, took his shirt off and threw it on the floor. As soon as he was done, he shockingly just went back to partying after spewing out a few words in another language. "Is that Russian?", My ears perked up but l shrugged my shoulders ignoring it.

I surely tried to mindless about the language but I couldn't stop myself from gawking at the one who spoke it. He was now bare chested. Yes, he had muscles that went on for days and a few tattoos licking across his lightly tanned skin. My eyes scanned down his strong pectoral muscles before landing on the most perfect six pack l had ever seen. The guy also had the little V muscle that pointed straight into his jeans.

Good. Lord... He was undescribable.

When my eyes traveled back to his, l noticed that he was watching me stare at him. Did he just catch me checking him out?! Oh who the hell cares?!. A guy like him knows exactly what he does to the female population. That was all fine but it was the cold stare in return that made me shiver.

Here l was staring at him like l was a sucker who wanted to lick until I reached the center but he was looking at me like l was another chick checking him out. Bastard! He seemed so proud of him .

"Hey- I heard you were looking for the owners of this place. What business do you have with them?", I spun around and found a tall blonde woman in her early Twenties looking at me with curiousity. She stared down at my luggage before her eyes came back to mine. The aura this girl gave off was intimidating to say at least. I pegged her being the bad ass chick that no body messed up with. Her hair was long down her waistline and several multiple colored strands were mixed in there for a dramatic look. It was fitting and so we're the tight leather pants and equally tight cropped tank she wore.

"I'm their new roommate. Came from Arizona. Do you know where l can find them?", I squared my shoulders and spoke with authority. She might be intimidating but so l was. Her eyes gave me a once over before a small smile tugged on at the corner of her lips. "The name is Evelyn but everyone calls me Evie. Welcome to the house", She narrowed her eyes and really stared at me.

"I think we will get along, just fine. Your room is on the third floor next to mine, come on l will show you the way", She turned and headed for the stairs. As walked, she shoved people out of her way to make path and I didn't hesitate to follow her. Each flight of stairs we climbed, l noticed how packed it was here just as it was on the first floor.

Finally we reached the third floor and Evie shoved a couple making out in front of a Door. "This is you", She stated hooking her thumb over her shoulder. I peeked in and saw a room with a twin sized bed in the center and a single dresser. It wasn't much but I knew after putting up some decorations and unpacking a few of my boxes, it would look like a home in no time.

"Thanks", After stepping into the room, l turned to her but she was yelling at someone in the hall before she turned and winked at me. "No problem, put your shit away and then find me downstairs, l would like to properly welcome you to the house", She disappeared quickly out of my sight but her booming voice was loud and clear.

With a smile on my face, l shut the door and tossed my luggage onto the end of the bed. I knew it that Evie wanted me to have a drink with her and l would thank her. I surely needed it. Making the bed will be for later.

I was just new here but I was surely going to have a drink.

Feeling thirsty l headed back downstairs and went in search of Evie. The place was still so crowded, l basically had to shove my way through until I found the kitchen. Clouds of smoke billowed through the air and that's when I heard Evie's voice. She was screaming at whoever was smoking in the house.

"Dude if you don't get the fuck out of here in five seconds, l will personally escort you out of here", She scolded angrily. I snickered under my breath loving how she was taking care of business. I think me and Evie we going to be fast friends. We were so much alike already, l inwardly felt that though l haven't gotten to know her yet.

"We got a problem here, Evie?", A tall muscular guy asked as he approached Evie from behind. He looked like a brick wall and if l were the kid smoking in here right now, l would have been terrified of him. "We might", She replied him. "I think we need to show this asshole the sidewalk", Evie nodded her head once and two huge guys came out of nowhere, grabbed the kid then hauled him out of the kitchen.

Once the kid was removed, everyone seemed to get back into the party, not even blinking. Evie turned , shaking her head when she looked and saw me. Winking at me, she turned towards the counter and grabbed two drinks and then came walking over to me. "We have got some real douchebags around the campus, you gotta watch out for yourself", She handed me a drink and l took it before taking a greedy sip.

"So what's your story, Arizona?", Looking up l noticed that she was intently watching at me. The look on her face told me that she was being careful with me. She didn't know me at all and l didn't blame her for having her guard. I do the same thing actually. "My story isn't that interesting", l lied staring down at my drink in my hands.

"Seriously? You get transferred clear across the country during your senior year and your life isn't exciting?", She snorted lifting up her glass to her lips. I shook my head when I heard her words. I had just arrived and didn't want to scare her off with my intense story just yet. There would be plenty of time for that, but right now, l just needed to be here like the girl no body knew . I wanted to be a mysterious new girl for a bit little longer.

Thankfully l didn't have to keep talking when the guy got puked on earlier came into the kitchen. It was obvious that all female eyes on him and it almost sounded like the room got quieter . "Strange", l thought. He was impressive but not that impressive. Ah! Who the hell am I kidding. He surely was.

"Yo. John", Evie called out, waving the sinfully attractive guy in our direction. I felt my cheeks and chest raise several degrees when he looked over and right into my eyes. However he continued to hold that cold dead stare as he approached, making me gulp. "What's up Evie?",I couldn't help but notice the light Russian accent in his voice and immediately l had a million questions for him.

"I wanted to introduce you to our new roommate. This is...... ", She paused and looked over at me. "sorry, l forgot your name already" ,

Clearing my throat, l replied shly. "It's Rianna ....",

"Rianna, a sweet name for a sweet girl", Evie teased and instantly l felt my hands clench in anger. She knew nothing about me. I was far from being sweet. She will figure it out soon or later. "She is from Arizona, just transferred in", She introduced and John nodded his head eyeing me intently. "Welcome to Mass", He reached around us and took a drink from the counter then lifted it up to his lips seconds later.

His eyes kept constant contact with mine over the rim of the glass, making me shift uncomfortably from foot to foot. "Thanks", l replied timidly pulling my gaze from his finally. Before Evie could say anything, he pointed at me. "Weren't you that girl who let that fucker puke all over my back?, Thanks for that anyway, l loved that shirt ", I couldn't tell by the tone in his voice if he was being playful or serious. Russian accents were like that though l still looked offended to it.

"Let him?, I didn't let him do anything. He got that way all on his own", l scoffed at him as l stared up into his piercing ocean blue eyes. I also stepped so close to him that our knuckles touched holding our glasses. "Maybe if you're weren't standing there, he wouldn't have gotten sick on you", l knew it that l was grasping at his straws but it was what I had to do right here.

His jaw flexed a few times as he stared down at me, challenging me with his eyes. "Who did you say, this chick was Evie?", Tearing his gaze from mine, he turned it to Evie. "Arizona. Transferred", She waved her hand dismissively and turned her attention back to the guy that looked like he just walked off the stage after a rock concert.

"I missed his name too Evie, what was it again?. Something boring and basic like Jim, Bob or Mike wasn't it?", Hiding a victorious grin behind my glass, l spoke then took another greedy drink. Two can play at this game John!!. You have no idea who you messing up with. At my words, a small smile began to lift his lips but he quickly forced it away and cocked an eyebrow at me.

"She's funny Evie", He turned his attention to Evie.

"It's better than being boring like you.... John", l stepped away from him then catching his reflection in the mirror, l saw him look down at my ass and nod with a playful smile on his face. Yep l just won that round. This was going to be a fun year.

He was an asshole but l was also a bitch.
